Forest: Focus for Productivity

Stop scrolling and stay focused on what matters most with Forest, a Pomodoro timer and focus app designed to help you overcome phone distractions.

Forest helps you turn focus into visible progress. Whenever you need to concentrate, you plant a seed. As you stay on task, it grows into a tree. But if you leave to check social media or other distractions, your tree will wither. This simple idea gives you a clear reason to stay present and committed.

Whether you’re studying for exams, working from home, or dealing with distractions, Forest helps you build better focus habits. Over time, your consistency grows into a virtual forest, and Forest users have also planted more than 2,000,000 real trees on Earth.
